Bring your vision to this 3-bedroom fixer-upper with plenty of potential! The main floor offers a functional layout with a full bathroom, main-floor laundry, a bonus room perfect for a home office, hobby space, or additional storage, and updated flooring in the kitchen and living room. Upstairs, you'll find all three bedrooms, including two with nice carpeting. Although the garage is attached to the house, you can only access it from outside. Outside, the generous 21,202 sq. ft. lot—nearly half an acre—provides plenty of space for future improvements, outdoor living, or recreation. This home is being sold as-is. The seller is unable to make repairs, the utilities have been off for an extended period, and the home will require work. The Appliances present are included, but their working condition is uncertain. The basement has experienced moisture; the home does not currently have gutters. Whether you're an investor or looking for a renovation project, this property offers a great opportunity to add value. 3 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom | 1-Car Garage | 1,392 Sq. Ft. | 21,202 Sq. Ft.
